I've been running openshift (okd) in my homelab for about a month now for all my container needs and so far, I really like what I see. Along the way, I had to debug some issues so here are a few commands that should help you getting started in finding the root cause of a problem. Gathering information: $ oc get nodes -o wide $ oc get pods -A -o wide $ oc adm top node $ oc -n ${namespace} get events [-o wide] $ oc -n ${namespace} describe ${resourceype}/${resourcename} Check why pods are failing: $ oc -n ${namespace} logs [-f | --tail=${linecount}) deployments/${deployment} $ oc -n ${namespace} logs [-f | --tail=${linecount}] pods/${pod} $ oc -n ${namespace} get pods/${podname} -o jsonpath='{.status.containerStatuses}' | jq $ oc -n ${namespace} get pods/${podname} -o yaml | oc adm policy scc-subject-review -f - Checking what pods are behind a given service: $ oc -n ${namespace} get endpoints ${service} Some useful commands for debugging pods / node
